SWNOVELS Chapter 165
Chapter 165 A Shame
Dempsey walked to the door with his two daughters.
“Sister, you can still go back now, so as not to lose face later,” Rosalie sneered as she reminded.
Arlene pretended not to understand and whispered to Dempsey, “I am Dad’s biological daughter, and I also have the last name
Clayton. What do you mean by saying I am embarrassing?”
Arlene glanced at Rosalie’s expression and pretended to look innocent.
Rosalie snorted coldly and stopped bothering with her.
She was going to let Arlene see what it means to be embarrassed.
The door opened, and Rosalie walked in first. She looked around at the people inside the room, and her feet seemed to be stuck
in place.
Thomas and the Friedan family’s three brothers were all here, and surprisingly, Claudia was also here!
What shocked her the most was that Emily was also there!
Emily woke up!
Rosalie widened her eyes, a surge of electricity ran through her body, and suddenly her body turned as cold as ice.
“Thomas, what’s the occasion today? It’s quite lively with so many people. Are you planning for all of us to have tea together?”
Dempsey also sensed that something was off in the atmosphere, but still greeted with a smile.
Thomas sat on the sofa, his face serious and anger evident in his eyes. “Yeah, let’s have a cup of tea together and settle the
score.”
Settling accounts?
Dempsey lifted his foot, intending to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he realized that the door had already been closed.
Dempsey awkwardly asked, “Thomas, what is this...”
Thomas ignored Dempsey and looked at Rosalie with a sneer, “Rosalie, the Friedan family didn’t do anything wrong to you, did
they?”
Rosalie’s face lost color in an instant, and her lips trembled nervously.
Arlene saw herself like this, and her heart was full of mockery.
Indeed, he was a fool. He didn’t try to win over the Friedan family, and judging by her behavior, it seems like she offended them.
Upon hearing Thomas’ questioning, Dempsey had no confusion. Regardless of what Rosalie had done, with Thomas’ attitude, it
was time to settle the score.
Thinking about how he had once kidnapped Claudia himself, Dempsey furrowed his brow. If he had known it would come to this,
he wouldn’t have come.
Looking at Rosalie’s pale face, Dempsey was full of disgust. It was truly a case of being more than enough to ruin things.
But now, people are under the eaves and have to lower their heads. He also doesn’t want to make the relationship too tense.
“Thomas, Rosalie used to be immature and made a lot of mistakes. If you have any dissatisfaction, speak up. Let’s have an open
and honest
conversation and resolve all the misunderstandings that need to be resolved...”
“I can’t solve it,” Thomas interrupted him. “Your daughter smashed a vase on my wife. If it weren’t for a miracle, Emily would
have spent her whole life in bed. Dempsey, you know that Emily is my everything. Anyone who dares to touch her is touching my
life!”
When Dempsey heard that Rosalie had hit Emily, his face visibly collapsed.
“Is what he said true?” Dempsey glared fiercely at Rosalie.
When Thomas was young, his mind was filled with Emily. Back then, they used to tease him for having a love-struck mind. Many
years have passed, but he still values his wife just as much. Everyone knows that no one should mess with the Friedan family,
and Emily is even more deserving of respect.
I didn’t expect that Rosalie, this st pid person, would actually provoke Emily.
Rosalie opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to deny, but her gaze shifted and she saw Elva sitting beside her, wiping away
tears.
She saw that Elva’s eyes were swollen from crying. Obviously, a good show had already been performed here before they
arrived.
But no matter what, she could never admit that she had killed Emily. It was a matter of murder, and even if she wanted to
confess, it wouldn’t be here.
“I didn’t smash it,” Rosalie lied without batting an eye. “The vase fell from above, what do you mean I smashed it? Don’t believe
everything you hear.”
“Rosalie...” Elva’s weak voice sounded, “Admit it, I’ve revealed
A
everything about you smashing my mother’s things, and also about you hiring someone to kill Waldron. Stop struggling, don’t try
to argue, everyone knows your true colors.”
Upon hearing these words, Rosalie’s heart sank heavily.
She didn’t expect Elva to betray her!
She asked with a gloomy face, “Is there any evidence?”
Evidence?
Elva was taken aback.
How could she possibly leave any evidence? Every time she finished chatting with Rosalie, she would eagerly delete the
evidence. How could she possibly still leave any evidence?
“Elva, don’t blame me for things you did yourself. It was you who asked me to hire the driver, and I didn’t break the vase. I’m not
happy about you trying to shift the blame onto me!” Rosalie’s lips curled slightly. “Everyone with clear eyes knows that only you
and I were there. Whatever you say goes? Is there no justice anymore?”
After saying that, she walked confidently toward Thomas and sincerely said, “Thomas, I know that none of you like me,
especially Seraphina. She has always blamed me for her grandmother’s death. If you think that you can send me to jail because
of her, then you are mistaken. This is a society governed by the rule of law, and I will not confess to something I haven’t done. As
for why Elva said that I did all these things, it’s because she actually did them! She wants to make me a scapegoat.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Elva exclaimed angrily, her eyes turning red. She pressed the remote control with a furious expression
and approached Rosalie. “Don’t think that deleting the records means there’s no evidence and you can make up stories! Why
would I falsely

accuse you when it’s clear that you’re the one responsible for all these things!”
Elva was getting furious!
Everything she said was true, and there was no need to hide anymore. But she never expected that Rosalic could be so good at
arguing!
“Elva, speak and act with evidence. And, just because you don’t have evidence doesn’t mean I don’t.” Rosalie smiled and took
out her phone, opening a screenshot and handing it to Thomas. “Uncle, take a look. This is a screenshot of Elva transferring
money to me. If you care enough to investigate, you’ll know that this account belongs to her.”
Elva was stunned when she saw the screenshot of 800 thousand
dollars.
She didn’t expect Rosalie to still keep this thing.
“Rosalie, you...”
“Enough!” Thomas impatiently interrupted her.
He looked at Rosalie, his gaze vaguely filled with murderous intent.
Rosalie and Elva, of course he believed Elva.
Thinking about Rosalie having screenshots, Elva couldn’t help but get even angrier, as she didn’t leave any evidence behind.
Elva was clearly tricked by Rosalie,
Seeing Rosalie argue convincingly, Claudia stood on the side, arms crossed, a hint of a beautiful smirk playing on her lips.
Rosalie, this person, never sheds a tear until she sees the coffin. As long as there is no evidence, perhaps no one can do
anything to her.
Heaven is fair, and the time for retribution has not yet come. Rosalie could never have imagined that there was a third witness,
and that person was her own son!
Seeing this situation, Dempsey’s raised heart sank slightly. He looked at Thomas apologetically and said, “Thomas, if this is true,
I would definitely do the right thing and personally take Rosalie to the police station. But as you can see, your daughter’s words
have no evidence, while Rosalie has screenshots. Actually, it’s not good for anyone if this matter escalates. How about this, we
will cover all your wife’s medical expenses, and as for the rest, you can decide...”
“Do I owe you this little medical expense?”
Thomas chuckled, and Dempsey’s face turned awkward.
“I believe no one would unjustly blame my older sister.”
Arlene’s voice rang out, and everyone looked at her.
“Why does Elva accuse you instead of others if there’s no smoke without fire?” Arlene laughed brightly, once again drawing
everyone’s attention to Rosalie.
Upon hearing Arlene’s words, Rosalie cursed angrily in her heart.
This person was deliberate!
